The Icelandic Knitter will be participating at the biggest crafts and needles show in France, Paris, called Aiguille en fête. Valérie Lejeune was so kind to offer me to share a bit of her stand: meet me there from Februar 10th to 13th, stand B20-2. I will show a few techniques.

So I'm showing you my largest cross stitch work, worth 9 months work, a baby born in 1998. It's a reproduction from an Icelandic bedcover from the 17th Century, also called Riddara teppi, and worked with old icelandic cross-stitch. This stitch is known in Europe under the name long arm cross-stitch, but I did it with a half cross-stitch.
